Last week, I was home with my son who was sick. He turned two on Tuesday and is in that in between stage of toddler and big boy. But he’s still a bit clingy when he’s ready and wants to nap with his mommy all the time.
When we were home, he slept for the majority of the morning which gave me the perfect opportunity to whip up something delicious and healthy for breakfast. On a normal weekday, I usually scramble two eggs with a handful of spinach and eat it at my desk with half an avocado and an apple. I look forward to more creative, interesting breakfasts on the days I’m not working.
After scouring through the fridge and pantry, I realized I had all the makings of a yummy breakfast taco, a breakfast I love but rarely make. From start to finish, these take about 15 minutes so they could be a weekday breakfast if I woke up early enough to make them.
I wrote this recipe for two people to have three tacos each. But, it could easily feed four people depending on how hungry everyone is. I used corn tortillas but flour would be just as good. Oh, and the toppings are totally up to you., If you don’t eat dairy, omit the feta. You can add salsa if you want or leave out the avocado all together. Also, if you eat meat, some chicken sausage would be delicious here. OK, let’s do this!
